Get the Lowdown on Smile Imaging

Monday, November 28th, 2016

Healthy GumsAt City Dental Leeds, we’re always on the lookout for incredible new innovations to improve our patients’ experiences and ensure they have access to the best treatments out there. Many people come to us wondering how dental treatment could benefit them. We are able to discuss the ins and outs of different treatments, but it’s hard to get across how different you could look if you had dental treatment. This is where smile imaging comes in handy. Using the latest imaging software and technology, we are now able to show clients what their smile could look like after undergoing treatment.

What does smile imaging involve?

Before we start, we take a photograph of your current smile. We then use smile imaging to show you pictures of how we could change your smile using different techniques. This enables you to see how treatment could affect your appearance and make comparisons between different treatment options.

We are able to use smile imaging for many treatments including teeth whitening, cosmetic bonding, crowns and bridges, orthodontic treatment, dental implants and veneers.

How could smile imaging benefit me?

Smile imaging gives you a visual representation of what can be achieved by dental treatment. Your dentist can talk to you all about the pros and cons of treatments, but it’s often hard to picture what you’ll look like after treatment. With smile imaging, you don’t have to guess. You’ll be able to see what you can expect using different types of treatment. This will help you to make decisions and give you something to look forward to if you do decide to take the plunge and treat yourself to a new smile.

 

The Rise of Cosmetic Dentistry

Friday, October 28th, 2016

White smileMany people are deciding that their dental health needs improving. This could be choosing to have a filling they were unsure of having due to one reason or the other, or finally booking an appointment with their dentist which they were avoiding from going to. But lots of people have also decided to improve the way their teeth look.

Cosmetic dentistry and its many forms

Our teeth were born natural white and looked unbelievably healthy in our school photos. However, whether this is thanks to drinking coffee or consuming tobacco products, they change colour and develop a yellowish tinge, which is not to everyone’s liking. With teeth whitening products that have instantaneous results, this very popular dental treatment is increasing in popularity all the time.

The other types of cosmetic dentistry

As well as teeth whitening, there are also veneers. Applied to the front of a person’s tooth using very strong glue, they make the tooth look white, unlike its previous colour. If one tooth is discoloured, this can help change the colour of this singular tooth.

Unlike their silver versions, white fillings blend in with the natural colour of the tooth, which can make any filling present in the tooth literally invisible. Silver fillings are prone to staining surrounding teeth but white fillings do not do this and leaves the tooth looking as natural as possible.

One more to consider

Just like white fillings when compared to silver fillings, Invisalign offer a person the chance to have braces without the metallic “train track” brace, which is very noticeable and might affect a person’s confidence. Invisalign technology uses clear aligners to straighten the teeth which allows for the confidence of the person to improve, as they won’t be self-conscious of having a metallic brace attached to the front of their teeth.

944335_blogIt should be quite abundantly clear by now that optimising your oral hygiene work in Leeds can help to keep your teeth healthy, fresh and good-looking. For this, you need to get the best the market can offer you and with a few pointers from your dentist, you should have no problem getting the equipment you need: brush, toothpaste, floss and mouthwashes are important ingredients you should have in your toolkit. However, the passing of time can play havoc with the way you smile and so from time to time, and to overcome that fading sheen, it may be necessary to have a little cosmetic work done, just to keep you smiling with confidence. If your teeth have become discoloured, a little whitening may be required to make them white and healthy looking again, but if they have really taken a pounding, then having veneers fitted will get you smiling again- this is where your dentists come in. Not only can they repair your teeth when things go wrong- in order to ensure you retain a healthy smile, but they can also do the work to make sure your teeth look good as well with a few cosmetic touches.
